I’ve also been looking at these lately and they vary so widely. I’ve seen them as low as $1000 and as high as $5200 (I guess $100/wk for a yr?). The numbers from different schools are so different that I’ve just started ignoring them and figured about $2000, though I do think that is high. I would think that a lot of the expenses are those that she would have anywhere, even if she was living at home. You have to wash your clothes and brush your teeth no matter where you are. I also have been estimating travel myself rather than use their costs. You can price out airfare or trains to estimate what it will cost and then multiply by how many trips you expect.
